Refer to Angels
Do you believe in Angels? If you ever ask me in person, my answer could possibly be Yes.
In my previous post I said about one lesson I learned from a magazine called Signs of the Times. The highlight of the magazine this month concerns Angels. After my read, I was intrigue because of the introduction story from a lady named Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross who regard herself as a deist.
While supervising a relief effort to the terrible spring flood on the Mississippi River on the deck on the riverboat Mattie Bell, she encountered a stranger prior to leaving from the river that was jammed with debris and submerged dangers. This stranger was insisting on boarding the Mattie Bell. Clara had little time for sightseers and denied the permission. But by the time she’d sent that order, the vessel had pulled away with the extra passenger on board.
Sorry but I should stop the storyline here. Will be continued in Read on Angels #2. Have to get the most beneficial diet tablets for a friend. It’s an fitness machine.
Okay, so the stranger was soon forgotten, for people were sailing through a tragic scene. The river was thick with the puffed up bodies of livestock, men, women, and children, all floating toward the Gulf of Mexico. Near to sundown, Clara found the stranger. Night fell and the vessel was enveloped in a thick fog that left them navigating the debris-filled river blind. Clara was terrified and notwithstanding herself, started to pray.
The stranger’s voice disrupted her. “Within moments the steamboat will be in a deadly crevasse,” he said. “The captain will not listen to me. You ought to command him to pull back at once!” There was something about the stranger’s tone that impressed Clara and she issued the order without delay. The captain anchored on the other side of the river.
At dawn, everybody saw the death they had narrowly fled from. How had the stranger known? Clara asked her staff to search for him so they could thank him but “he” is nowhere to be found. Until she died, Clara Barton believed that an angel had protected the Mattie Bell.
In spite of of the long article, I loved how the story illustrates unseen guardian angels in our lives. Okay, need to go with a pal to look for prenatal vitamins. So happy for her despite how much time we haven’t had the opportunity to see.
